Hej,
hope you are doing well, just want to drop some lines for you to keep you up to date.
The small celebration raffle for AURORAs 1000th facebook like was a success and I found 3 lucky winners. Thanks for all who joined the raffle.

Today and yesterday I visited The Good Will Out sneaker store in cologne, it’s probably the best in Germany. It was kind of a camp out for the Asics Gel Lyte III x WOEI “Cervidae”. Pretty awesome sneaker. Really nice craftmanship and detailing on this one. Check these pictures on SneakerBobs Blog.
I met some really nice people around the store and besides some rain and stuff, it was great.
One of them also got a small label, it’s called Starship Clothing, check it out!

Another thing I would like to share with you are my plans to visit Paris for some days around the 07. july to 11. july. I’m meeting up with Joey Dodd from Australia, you might know him from one of my favorite shirts: AURORA “The Chase” black / “The Chase” white.
Really curious about this awesome city and of course about meeting him. If you are from Paris maybe drop a line and maybe we can meet up aswell for a ride or a beer.

After this I really would like to make short trip to London. Never been there, but really want to take the chance and get there in july/august. So if you are from London and have some space to sleep for 3-4 days, it would be really awesome.

Kind of a pretty personal posting this time, but I hope you don’t mind. There are news on new gear aswell. The cut&sew Zippers and Pants are arriving in the next days and also the new 5 Panel Colorway is in production. I hope to release these pieces along with some more stuff around August/September.
Besides this, i’m prototyping on a large Messenger Bag and also a new Velcro Strap version – the V3.
Not sure when these products will be released, but you will notice. Promised!

Thanks a lot for your time.

Sebastian

There are lot’s of products in the making and I hope you will like the upcoming releases. Stay tuned for the first Cut&Sew items dropping this summer. AURORA Hooded Zipper, Chino Pants, Shirts, Caps and much more.
So to make it short, I hope you have fun with the AURORA products
and that you will go along with me on future AURORA adventures…

To celebrate the 1000th like on the AURORA facebook page I would love to start a small raffle
and give something back to three of you.

3. share this post on facebook
4. and invite your friends to like the AURORA page.

With all this done, you are in the game for one 60€ voucher, one 40€ voucher and a Snapback OR Shirt of your choice. I will announce and contact 3 winners on sunday the 24th of june.

Disclaimer: The winners will be chosen with the help of random.org. The voucher can be used for your next purchase at the AURORA webshop, just contact me after your purchase and I will convert it. No pay out!

Here we go again.
Why not putting up another version of our Compact Messenger Bag, the Black Version received a lot positive feedback so far. So here is the AURORA Compact Messenger Bag “Flecktarn” (“Spotted Camouflage”) version which will help you to survive and hide in the urban jungle.
I’m still really proud of this product, because it took a lot time and effort to develop the construction, pattern and features of the bag. It features the best insights I discovered while using several bags the last years.
Perfect for everyday use, commuting, short trips and also for carrying larger and bulky goods. It is really tough and versatile, but it’s still a compact Bag.
Besides your daily essentials it takes your DIN A4 writing pad, iPad and also a Macbook (Air 11″/13″ or Pro 13″).

To make it something special and stand out from the crowd, i’ve added a lot features you just rarely find on other bags. The Strap System on the flap is pretty unique and very useful. With the included Straps you can securely fasten Bike Polo Mallets, a Mailing Tube, Golf Clubs, a sleeping bag, your wet bike gear after a shower and much more. If you need some more space you can also lengthen the snap buckles on the flap with the additional Straps and put some larger stuff in.

Check out the features of the AURORA Compact Messenger Bag:
- Made of 1100D Cordura (DuPont)
- Tarpaulin lining
- 3 outer pockets, one with YKK velcro closure
- 1 inner pocket with YKK velcro closure
- D-Ring for your keys
- two snap buckles on the flap
- reversible shoulder strap with quick release
- AURORA Strap Systeme on the flap, including two Straps with snap buckles
and one additional loop on the bottom of the bag.
- Blinky light loop
- High Quality hardware by Duraflex, ITW Nexus, YKK and MakeFast
- Volume: 10,5 Liter

Size (approx. flat measurement):
Width: 32 cm (bottom) / 50 cm (top)
Height: 22 cm (front)
Depth: 15 cm (bottom)

Every Bag is proudly Handmade in Germany and every bag is built-to-order,
so please allow 2-4 weeks until it ships. I do my best to have some in stock, so if you need it quick contact me.
I’m doing my best to sew as much as possible in the next weeks to have them on stock.
But due to other jobs and being a student I can’t really plan this.

I hope you like AURORAs first attempt in serious Bag Biz and I look forward to the first feedback and reviews. Get yours here.

Thanks.

Hej,
as mentioned some days ago, i’m happy to finally introduce the AURORA Compact Messenger Bag to you.
I’m really proud of this release, because it took a lot time and effort to develop the construction, pattern and features of the bag. After years of using/owning several messenger bags/backpacks, researching and 1,5 years testing the first prototype, I had many ideas and saw a lot problems to face. I think I solved most of them really good and i’m really happy with this one.
For me it is perfect for everyday use, commuting, short trips and also for carrying larger and bulky goods. It is really tough and versatile, but it’s still a compact Bag.
Besides your daily essentials it takes your DIN A4 writing pad, iPad and also a Macbook (Air 11″/13″ or Pro 13″).

Hej,
hope you doing well.
It’s a super nice sunday over here in Germany, the sun is shining, but i’m busy working on getting stuff online. You might remember my teaser for new gear some weeks ago.
Here is the result. Today i’m happy to announce the AURORA “Serif” Pack. Basically it’s just 4 different new Snapback Caps and fitting V1 Velcro Straps. Looks pretty nice together.
Besides this I also added the AURORA Logo Snapback Cap, many people really liked the AURORA 5 Panel Design, so I thought it would be great to have this as a Snapback aswell.

And last but not least, I updated the classic V1 Velcro Straps Colorways ( grey and CMYK ) with a new Logo Detail and added a all new summer Colorway, with a bright turquoise.

Check it out, drop some feedback if you like
and have a great sunday.

Best.

Sebastian.

With the perfect size 76,5 cm x 19,5 cm // 30″ x 7,6″ you are good to go. These are very limited, so check out the webshop and get yours.

Also i’m working on a summer collection with shirts, caps, summer hooded zipper and of course our first chino 5 pocket pants. This is going to be great!

And just to remind you, our good friends in Hannover are working hard to make this years Maikätzchen Alleycat happening. So if you have some time and want tons of fun on 19th/20th of may, visit Hannover and join the party.

Thanks!
